Probiotic supplement use among US adults increased by 287% between 2009 and 2023, researchers reported September 7 in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.[1] The study also found that excess mortality among Medicaid beneficiaries with autism was most pronounced for influenza (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] 10.55), malnutrition (SMR 7.56), pneumonitis due to solids and liquids (SMR 6.92), non-transportation accidents (SMR 4.48), accidental drowning and submersion (SMR 3.26), and pneumonia (SMR 3.06).[2] Excess mortality among individuals with autism occurred across most disease categories, with particularly heightened risk from influenza, malnutrition, pneumonitis, non-transport accidents, drowning, and pneumonia.[3]
